I do use shortcode for bbpress index display is there another way but man is index super slow to load! latest post shortcode is fine its just the index. rest of site is fine jumping from topic to topic but something must be going on. I have researched this and seems related to shortcode or amount of posts/topics/replies? site has only 80,000 posts with 6,044 topics so not big at all

I also list nicer looking index with categories to look more like a forum if that makes a difference?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 6 months ago]

so this forum has a greater number of posts, but loads fine.

Do you want to define ‘super slow’ in terms of seconds?

[@randrcomputers Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

9.75 seconds to load shortcut “bbp-forum-index”, 3.75 seconds to load shortcut “new-posts-last-month” really seems index takes FOREVER i even made a test index page with no widgets and no sidebar and still takes nearly 10 sec. i would be thrilled if i could shave just a few seconds of the index somehow

is your site public ?

[@navrajvirsingh Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

Is it on NGINX or APACHE web server? NGINX is very fast compared to the Apache.

That is not true, it all comes how the server is configured and in many instances, Nginx is used along with Apache in a reverse proxy configuration. Nginx and Apache have different strengths, but they can work together for a greater benefit.

It is nginx but I don’t think that’s the issue

It is way faster if not “logged in” site don’t use cache plugin so that’s not issue either but is much slower if logged in to site vs not logged in

You need to determine what is causing so slow load times. Use the Debug Monitor or similar plugin to find out which SQL queries are slow.

@gdragon I Have looked before But can’t seem to find what it is that causing it. I try again over the weekend

[@gdragon Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

There has to be something. It is very unlikely that high load is caused by PHP code only, my guess is that MySQL queries are causing high load. That too is strange, because it should not be happening normally, but at least, it can point to some configuration issue with MySQL server.

[@randrcomputers Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

Yes when I look it seems a lot of Ajax-admin calls for some reason. Not sure why that is happening

[@gdragon Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

By default, bbPress doesn’t make any AJAX calls with the exception of subscribe/favorite actions. You should determine what is making the calls (there should be ‘action’ argument sent with each AJAX request).

This has been fixed. Was a issue with user tracking and dev4press plugin Milan provides the best support though Robin is just as good 🙂 thanks guys my index has never been faster!!

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 5 months ago]

Great – I’m glad you got to a fix!!
